Charlotte Baccalaureate Service
Friday, May 18, 2018 at 7:00 p.m.
Location: Forest Hill Church (7224 Park Road, Charlotte NC 28210)
Speaker: Dr. Rodney Cooper, Kenneth and Jean Hansen Professor of Discipleship and Leadership Development; Director of the Center for the Development of Evangelical Leadership (CDEL)
Graduates must arrive at the church by 6:00 p.m. for robing
Graduates must wear academic regalia

Men, please wear a white shirt, tie, dark slacks, and dark shoes. Ladies may dress in a similar fashion (dark shoes go best with the black robes).

Once you arrive at the church, a staff member will direct you to the robing area. GCTS staff will also be available to assist you with your robing and hooding needs. We need you to be prompt and ready to be seated by the times indicated above. For both events, we need ample time to discuss marching (procession/recession), receiving of degrees and other related issues. Plan accordingly, and please, out of respect for your classmates, do not be late. Caps should be worn about 2” above the eyebrow. Tassels go on the left side and are not moved. Gentlemen remove caps when President Hollinger removes his. Ladies wear caps at all times. Hoods are worn on the shoulder with no draping to one side. The satin should be curled to look like an actual hood in the back.

Graduation Portraits will be taken by our photographer on the evening of the Baccalaureate Service, Friday, May 18 at Forest Hill Church. If you are interested in purchasing graduation portraits, you will need to preorder at the following link: https://tinyurl.com/ycfknavk.

Payment should be brought with you in the form of cash or check (made out to GCTS) at the time of your photography session. Once you have filled out the preorder form, you will be contacted to schedule your portrait.
